We had a ton of fun this past Friday night at Rock City in Barre, listening to renditions of rock music from the 50's through now. The tunes were good and the proceeds went to supporting our work - many thanks to the singers, band, director and organizers who made this possible!

We're very excited and grateful that the proceeds from the next performance of Rock City will benefit home sharing in central Vermont! Please come out and support us and the choir - it's going to be a good time!

Give to Home Share Vermont on Giving Tuesday...For 15 years Home Share Now has been addressing critical affordable housing needs. We match people in need of housing, with home owners who have space to share. Over the past five years we have worked with seekers and sharers to create almost $690,000 in rental savings and save over $2.2M in nursing home costs. Critical to countering the ill-effects of growing older in America is staving off isolation, making space for financial recovery and health, providing respite for adult children who care for parents, and strengthening the fabric of community. With your help we can address this crisis in Central Vermont. Together we can make a difference, please consider a gift to Home Share Now.
